Anthony Joshua has lost his heavyweight world title rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.
The Brit was much improved from their first encounter as he once again took the unbeaten Ukrainian the distance.
But Usyk’s ring craft just proved too much for Joshua as he clinched victory for the second time on points – taking a split decision 113-115, 115-113, 116-112.
The WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO world titles remain in Usyk’s hands – and he now takes the Ring Magazine strap too.
Joshua, 32, must now rebuild having suffered his third career defeat, while Usyk, 35, remains unbeaten and will be seeking a unification fight with Tyson Fury, with not too many believing the WBC champion’s recent retirement announcement.
